Chapter 13 Sorting Ceremony

For Harry Potter fans, the protagonist will change and the heroine will change.

The only thing that remains unchanged is this iron hat king!

"If I remember correctly, Hannah Abbott should be Neville's future wife."

"If Neville is sorted into Hufflepuff, I don't know if their development progress will be faster."

While Argus was thinking, Professor McGonagall had already called Neville's name.

"Neville Longbottom!"

Neville's steps were frivolous, and he was not used to this kind of scene where countless people were paying attention to him.

Different from the previous ones, the Sorting Hat seemed to be deep in thought and communicating with him.

"Are you sure about your choice?"

"I...I'm sure!"

"Okay! Hufflepuff!"

The Hufflepuff table cheered again, with only Dumbledore frowning slightly.

Seems to be confused.

"If I remember correctly, both Mr. Longbottom's parents graduated from Gryffindor, right? I didn't expect him to come to Hufflepuff."

Professor Sprout is a fat, silver-haired lady with a friendly smile. She can't help but smile when she sees students assigned to her college one after another.

"Next, Hermione Granger!"

Upon hearing her name, Hermione took a deep breath and stood up.

"Hermione, don't be nervous! Believe in yourself!"

While cheering herself up, Hermione looked back at Argus, put on the Sorting Hat and sat on the stool.

"She's mentally ill and looks weird."

Ron clearly remembered that the girl who was following Argus at the time secretly whispered bad things in Harry's ear while she was being sorted.

He thought Harry would agree, but he didn't expect that the other party would look at him slightly dissatisfied.

Yagus glanced at him coldly.

Feeling the pressure from his eyes, Ron, who was already suffering from psychological shadow, didn't even dare to raise his head.

Huddled up behind Harry, acting like a tortoise.

"Mr. Weasley, it's not a good habit to speak ill of others behind their backs."

Professor McGonagall was standing not far away from the two of them. How could she, being upright, tolerate such a thing.

He immediately warned, which attracted many people's attention.

At this moment, the Sorting Hat's voice sounded, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"Well, I don't know why, but this year's freshmen always have their own ideas."

"So……"

"Ravenclaw!"

Hermione cheered, gave Argus a showy look, and skipped towards the Ravenclaw table.

As soon as I sat down, I started chatting with the senior sister next to me.

Several people's eyes peeked at Yagus from time to time.

"Two of them, I just want to know, without Hermione, how can Harry and Ron, two guys who can't even put together half a brain, fight against Voldemort!"

So far, Yagus is quite satisfied with his results on the train.

Establish initial prestige for yourself at Hogwarts and leave a perfect impression on the professors.

Separate Hermione and Neville from Harry to leave more room for competition with Dumbledore in the future.

Now, the only thing that remains to be seen is whether Harry can be tricked into Slytherin by him.

If he was really brought in, Dumbledore would have great fun!

As Draco, Pansy, Ron and others complete the sorting, the climax of the first game between Argus and Dumbledore comes!

"Harry Potter!"

Professor McGonagall looked down at Harry, and the entire hall instantly became noisy.

Even Dumbledore stood up and looked directly at him.

"It's not easy to handle. It's really a problem."

"I can see that you are very courageous, have a good heart, and are talented. Well, that's right."

Harry sat on the stool, and the Sorting Hat's question came to his mind.

"Hey Harry, tell me, do you have a house you want to go to?"

"It's the boy again!"

The Sorting Hat seemed to have seen something surprising.

"Again?" Harry was keenly aware of the message in the Sorting Hat's words.

"Yes, the boy with blond hair and blue eyes."

"Before you, many people relied on his opinions, but he was right. There is no best academy, only the one that suits you best."

"I kind of wonder where he's going to be assigned."

"Have you decided? Which college do you want to go to?"

"Slytherin? Or Gryffindor?"

"Let me think about it..." Harry was in a dilemma for a moment.

Time passed by, and the students outside gradually became anxious from the initial quietness.

Before Harry, the longest it had taken was two minutes.

But now, a full five minutes have passed!

Harry hasn't finished dividing it yet!

This made them wonder if the Sorting Hat was too dirty and had a bad brain.

Maybe it should be given a new look?

Dumbledore's brows furrowed into a frown.

As the principal, he knew the rules of the Sorting Hat very well.

There's only one reason why it hasn't been completed for so long, and that's because Harry was hesitating!

He had specially sent Hagrid to pick up Harry, and then he had chosen the right time to send Harry to the station, where he happened to meet the Weasley family.

Each of these things secretly conveyed to Harry that Gryffindor was the best house.

Even so, Harry still hesitated...

He slowly cast his gaze towards Yagus in the center of the crowd.

"Is it because of you? Yagus?"

Aside from Argus, who else could have had such a profound impact on Harry in such a short period of time?

"Haven't you made a decision yet, Harry?"

"Forget it, I'll help you!"

The last voice of the Sorting Hat entered Harry's mind, and then it announced to everyone.

"Harry Potter's house is..."

"Gryffindor!"

The next second, Gryffindor was completely boiling!

"We have Harry Potter!"

"Harry Potter belongs to our Gryffindor!"

"..."

Dumbledore's tense back finally relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief secretly.

Argus shook his head helplessly.

Still one step short!

Fortunately, he noticed that Harry's performance seemed a little abnormal.

Sitting at the Gryffindor table, he had a smile on his face, but it was just a smile.

Not as excited as in the original book!

"Dumbledore, what's wrong with forcing Harry into Gryffindor?"

"He doesn't feel like he belongs to Gryffindor now."

"I lost this round, but you didn't win either!"

The restaurant was noisy for a while before it quieted down.

Professor McGonagall held the parchment in her hand and was about to call the next person forward, but when she saw the next name, a complicated look appeared in her eyes.

She turned her head and looked at Dumbledore with a hesitant expression.

Just when everyone was wondering why Professor McGonagall hesitated, she spoke.

Her eyes were fixed on Argus.

"Argus Grindelwald!"

The whole restaurant was in a dead silence!
